The White Noise Factor

We sometimes refer to “white noise” as something that is just there, but does not really add anything to what we’re trying to accomplish. It’s simply a distracting factor. Imagine yourself reading a book and studying for an exam while you’re standing on the sidewalk of a busy and noisy street. Now imagine yourself doing the same in the comfort of a homey and quiet place. In which case do you think your mind is more open, focused and receptive?

Many of us have goals and dreams and yet, we find ourselves not getting closer to these goals although we dedicate time and effort to achieving whatever it is we’d like to materialize in our life. If you’ve ever experienced a situation like this, it may be worthwhile examining how much “white noise” there is while you work on the fulfillment of these goals.

Ask yourself every once in a while how many distracting factors there are in your environment? Are there things you can reduce or even eliminate? If that’s hard to do, can you find a little time each day to just sit there and be quiet for a few moments so as to free up your mind and re-focus?

Reducing “white noise” not only helps us focus on what we want to achieve, it also opens our minds to new ideas and opportunities.

Give and Take

A good way to attract positive circumstances into your life is to give without asking what you could or will get back for it. It’s a concept that is not always intuitively understood.

Our economic system promotes the exchange of goods and services for money, investments for returns etc. We are taught that we primarily give in order to get something back either immediately or in a certain timeframe.

The effectiveness of giving to others without expecting something back is in fact, although not widely promoted, a very real way of giving something to yourself.

You don’t have to be wealthy in material terms to give back. You can offer your expertise, your help, a service, a product or whatever you choose to give that is within your possibilities and of value to others.

By doing so you’re sending a message that you’re open to give and receive. You may or may not receive something back immediately, but at some point you will for sure get something back. It may be from a completely unexpected source and in a different form. It always works, try it.

Limitations

The limits to what we can achieve are mostly the product of our thinking. Limits are often self imposed because we either think we cannot do a thing, or because someone told us we cannot do a thing and we chose to believe it.

How many people do you know who could truly tell you what your limitations are ? The most probable answer is that nobody knows you as well as you do and therefore, nobody outside of you can be in a position to know what you can or cannot achieve. Your personal limits are where you decide they ought to be. They are not where other people think they are.

Achieving starts with believing. If you believe you can do a thing, chances are that you can do it. It may take time, but you can do it. Many times we ask “Why can’t I do or have that” instead of “What can I do in order to do or have that too”.

Look around you. There thousands of examples of people who started with nothing and achieved wonderful things. Are these people smarter or more talented than you ? No, but most of them one day simply started believing they could materialize their dreams and never stopped doing so.
